Farsight: Drones

My Farsight army requires quite a few drones to bulk out the list, and this was part of the painting process that I was dreading! So many identical models, with annoying detail which just cried out to be highlighted!!!

In reality, this was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. I still have several drones to do, but I'll put those off until I get through the remaining battle suits.

These are two shielded missile drones. I actually liked doing these: the chunky build is easy to paint and highlight.

Then I painted up four missile drones, two for each Broadside in my list.

Finally, I'm gathering lots of marker light drones. These are quite difficult to find: I managed to convert two with parts from the Broadside kit, combining those with drone bodies from regular suits, and then I used one from the stealth suit kit. I have another five or so to do before I have enough of them...
